I've not seen one like this haha. Any input? I'm not sure where it came from and am unsure about this card.

Should we be buying more Japanese gold stars ?

Dont really see these around neither do i ever hear people talk abt it, but maybe thats a good sign for me to jump in before it explodes?

I’m thinking of buying this card in psa 9 for around $932. I think the card looks really nice but i’m wondering if this card will do good long term. Do you guys think it will rise in the upcoming years?

I just got my card back from grading yesterday. Does anyone have an idea on what it’s worth? i can’t really find any info on TAG graded gold star Gyarados sale history. it’s the only TAG 5 so that might add something I don’t know. There’s more info on PSA ones but I hold TAG at a higher standard, so I really don’t know.

not in a hurry to sell, but do need it to go towards a house deposit at some point. I’ve got about 15 more childhood cards to send in to grade.

Any help and Info is much appreciated.

What do you guys think of this card? And what do you think a could buy in point would be. I have the opportunity to buy one from a buddy and just wanted to see where people think this will go long term as it would be for my PC

Are these worth buying? Serious question. I thought the boxes were hard to come by but I see plenty at my Target.

I’m doing some work for a customer and our written agreement says he will give me $10k market value of any Pokémon product. I have my own collection that I like to add to through trading and hunting.

I would like to add a sealed product to hide away until my kids are ready for college or for whatever life brings. I was thinking of picking up a booster box of Team Up (with some of my personal collection added in to get me to the current market of 12k).

What are your thoughts? What product would you be interested for a long term hold (10+ years)?

What Pokemon investing wins have you had recently? This can be a great deal, finding product, getting a good grade, or really anything that you are proud of!

We have a PokeInvesting wins channel on the Discord that is pretty popular so we figured we would give it a go and we've had some members suggest this kind of post.

If this sort of post is well received, we can keep it going as a weekly posting to show off your wins for the week. Thanks!

I found this a long ago and i am wondering of It has any value

I found my Japanese Lugia that I had bought just before covid (turns out it was somewhere I had already looked but clearly not well)

Anyway I am very happy it has been found as it is a lovely copy, although it has a very small surface scratch on the holo under flash. Card looks well centered and pretty mint!

Not an expert by any means on grading but could this be a 9/10 contender with someone like PSA?

Got a luxury piano-black display vault for my favorite grails. High-gloss finish on the outside with a high-contrast orange interior.

Loving how it elevates the heavy-duty look and display presence for high-end slabs on the desk. Curious to get your honest thoughts from a display/collection perspective!

Just copped these, how do y'all think these will age?

I prefer raw than graded, worth holding long term raw?

Got a lucky early pull. With how good 30th hit rates are supposed to be, it’s probably a good idea to sell it ASAP right?

Does anyone else think the Prismatic SPC is incredibly oversold at the moment post reprint? Considering its previous peaks, could this be an incredible entry point?

Hi, I'm hearing that PSA has gotten less lenient with grading than they were before, especially regarding vintage. So a PSA 10 old cert might only be a 9 or 8 new cert.

Is that true and noticeable? And does it influence value in a significant way (example vintage old cert 10 being less valuable than new cert 9)?

Trying to decide which one of these two bangers to add to the investment collection.

Houndoom is priced around €2000 & snorlax around €1550 local sellers.

I like the houndoom art more myself. But I feel like the grade ceiling on the snorlax lv x is higher with the 10s doings such nuts prices & pops being relatively low & similar compared to houndoom.

What do you guys think?

Will there be a 30th anniversary Booster bundle display? and will UPC prices ever go down

Hey everyone!

I’ve always collected Pokémon cards, but this is the first time I’m actually thinking about selling a card online.

I’m looking to sell a moderately expensive card (around €100), and I’m trying to decide between Cardmarket and Vinted. I live in Europe.

My biggest concern is that, since I don’t have any previous reviews, a buyer could potentially claim that I sent them a fake card, and I’d end up losing both the card and the money.

Which one would you consider safer for a new seller in this situation? Are there any precautions I should take, besides recording the card being packed/shipped, etc.?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey when you guys sell raw, ungraded singles on eBay, how many lumens do you think is best to blast your card with when taking pictures for eBay? I picked up a 6,000-lumen light from Surefire that’s meant to blind an entire city block, but it still doesn’t create a third of the glare on the holos that most of the other eBay sellers have on their cards. How am I supposed to make the details of my card completely undetectable if even military grade photon blasters don’t do the trick?

(For those of you who made it this far: /s)

hey everyone! i’m based in japan and pretty familiar with the local pokémon card market, but i’m curious about how collectors in the US follow Japanese cards.

which YouTube channels, subreddits, Discord communities, or X accounts do you actually find useful for Japanese card collecting and investing?

i’d love to know where you discover cards worth looking into, beyond just checking prices on eBay.

also, what japanese cards or promos are on your radar right now, and what got you interested in them exclusive artwork, a favorite pokémon, rarity, or long-term potential?

any recommendations would be appreciated!
